    1. 6th July 2013 Lots of video game dreams and interesting XCOM game

      by , 07-06-2013 at 10:47 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Pretty fragmented recall, but that's alot of recall anyways, haha.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was playing some FPS game that i really liked, coop with SilentEternity, at some point we were is some semi-destroyed building fighting some big insectoid thing. Then game suddenly glitched out and turned into something like half-life. One of weapons then gave ability to literally punch the enemy using a headcrab.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was watching an let's play of game that looked like KKND2, player was talking about some mission, telling that it's hard and failing horribly. Then i decided to try same mission and it was pretty easy, i was talking with SilentEternity and we just came to conclusion that that player was just really bad at it. Map was pretty open and i apparently could control units of different colors, red and purple, there were superadvanced mechanics as an bonus unit and i was placing alot of turrets. Enemies were trying to attack the base but failed and then i proceed to attack their huge base and won.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was playing Left 4 Dead, unlike IWL, it was solo game, i was progressing through some dark city and at some point i was in some small building, there was alot of broken glass and wood and there were melee weapons and each time i aimed at one, character was doing funny animation like thumbs up. I notice game having weird ambient sounds, which sounded like something from old Resident Evil games.

      Dream 4(fragment):

      I was playing some FPS game with SilentEternity and at one point we were searching for something in a dark maze of some kind. There was something about robots.

      Dream 5:

      I was watching some old XCOM let's play, the player took out alien base and then was doing fairly well on one crash site, then it turned out to be multiplayer and second player took control of the alien side and there was last one sectoid left, which killed off whole XCOM squad, then game glitched out almost completely with sectoid walking off in the glitchy distance.
      I went to chat about it with SilentEternity and was suggesting some different XCOM game, then we were talking about TTS and he mentioned some new XCOM game. We decided to try it.
      The XCOM base in it looked weird, like some kind of huge 3D underground rocket control center, then something broke and one of constructions collapsed. Then there was a mission in forest, i was controlling XCOM squad and had to clear the place of aliens, they were various and there was some aspect of bases, some of my troops could build barriers and turrets and aliens had some structures too. Eventually i won that battle and we decided to switch the sides.
      On alien side there was alot of stuff and then we were doing similar mission. I had wide variety of units including some kind of bulky flying drones and an alien black dragon-looking thing that was very powerful and had ability to increase amount of time units for a turn and ability to get over barricades. I rushed XCOM craft location with all units i got so his forces had to retreat, victory.
      Then there was some cutscene in space and it was giving some numbers about something, related to mass or gravity or something like that, SilentEternity says that numbers are totally wrong because they are simply too small for anything like that.
    2. 1st July 2013 Long dream, Video game mix

      by , 07-02-2013 at 12:35 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Pretty long and cool dream and good recall.

      I was in some video game on some mission, i was with some group assaulting enemy base and searching for something, then it was like an RTS and i was commanding some forces, some of which looked like something from megaman series, then we were at some power plant place and we used some technology to fly into the sky(possibly jetpacks).
      There was some passage built in the sky that lead us to the train station. We were using trains to travel around on rails right in the sky, the structure of place was weird and i figured that the game is full of references to various stuff, on the way we met cartoonish woodpecker and wolf that were fighting eachother all over the place, setting traps and stuff. We were having a bit of problems with switching rails and dead ends, but eventually after getting back and forth we got to some old temple entrance, in the sky.
      We were going through the passage and there were a few switches and traps, i disarmed one trap that was some kind of idol connected by the rope to the ceiling that fell when triggered.
      Shortly we reached the other side, which was kinda futuristic metallic area, like space station or base, with alot of different paths, we were exploring and fighting enemies, we reached the rooftops area and we were on the top of some palace apparently, there was pretty cool view over the nearby area. But we had to go back and then through temple again, i accidentally triggered that trap with falling idol, which almost hit one of the team, then we were back to the train station and on the train we went to another place.
      It was some kind of a dark fantasy town, game turned RPG-stylish and SilentEternity joined instead of the team that was with me before. We went exploring some locations in the town and then some graveyard while he was explaining some of game mechanics to me, including something related to inventory. We got some quest and we went to the canyon, we were on the top and there were some turrets, enemies were running through the bottom so it was like some kind of tower defense game.
      Done with that we returned to the town, that's where story of the game catched up. There was something about reviving ancient dragons of various colors to fight them. One was revived after the mission but we could not fight him because we were not ready. We talked with him and started the fight anyways, but we had to retreat. Shortly dragon flied away to somewhere else and we were attacked by more enemies, i died and i noticed class change window, i selected some other class.
      Now i was some insect-like thing, somewhat like mantis, but a bit larger than human, and i actually felt different, it was awesome, i went to inventory screen but then noticed lack of stuff that i had, SilentEternity mentioned something about that different classes don't share same inventory. We continued fighting enemies and our next goal was to find some gem items around the town. I noticed that my attack stat was lower than with the previous class and i could use some kind of modules to change stats around, SilentEternity said that it's better to have balanced stats than highest attack anyways so i switched stuff around till it was balanced. I also could use some kind of magic attacks.
      After finishing with gems we went to another mission. It was happening in even darker place, it was very open area with few chunks of ground floating in few places and some dome-like structure in the middle. it was pretty difficult, alot of enemies were spawning around, there were some humanoids with long arms, some with weapons and also some ranged enemies that looked like liches. After alot of kiting and running around trying to take them all out, i managed to die again, though this time SilentEternity casted revival spell in time so i was back in the fight. We had to target enemy spellcasters because they were the only enemies not respawning and they were guarding the items that we needed. Soon SilentEternity was too low on HP, we had to retreat but too many enemies followed, we had some glorious dialogue and then i found some option of HP transfer and gave some of it to SilentEternity, we fought rest of the enemies and defeated them.
      Then i was randomly back at the level select and was trying to unlock hidden level behind the wall, i got through the edge of the screen incorrectly and due to glitch my leg was stuck in the wall on the other screen......... it felt very very very weird then dream ended.
    3. Talking bird

      by

      , 06-27-2013 at 06:43 PM (Hyu's Adventures)
      Trying to post stuff again.
      I think I'll write down dreams related to the templar story first, because I really want to have that stuff written down properly, so I figure I might as well start there.
      I'll get to more current dreams after that.

      My vision normalizes as my naked feet gently touch down in the sand. I'm on a beach.
      I am somewhat blinded by the reflection of the sun on the near white ground.
      It is very hot; I can clearly feel the pressure of the heat on my skin.
      There's a lot of noise. People running into the ocean. Kids playing ball.
      Music coming from god knows where. People seem to be partying.

      All in all it feels rather uncomfortable. It isn't the heat or the noise though.
      I'm not in a good mood. I don't feel like being surrounded with joy right now. It just doesn't feel right.
      Now where's that fucking bird... yes... of course. At a bar talking to some girls.
      Where else would he be?


      He's a rather interesting creature. You don't meet many talking birds, and this one definitely has an attitude.
      This one is pitch black with a single red feather in his tail, which I think he dyed that color.
      It looks kinda cool actually, but he is a little full of himself. He also talks a lot.

      As I approach the bar the girls leave giggling. He probably told them one of his famous stories.
      I sit on the bar stool closest to him.

      "Crow!"
      "What the- Hyu!"
      "Indeed"
      "The fuck are you doing here mate? Did you bring Yuya? Where is Yuya?"
      "What is it with you? Always only interested in the girls."
      "What is it with you always calling me Crow?"

      "You remind me of a talking bird going by that name."
      "Uhuh? And who would that be? Are you making fun of me?"
      "Crow helped save the worlds of Stark and Arcadia dear friend. He's a hero."

      But that's not why I'm calling you Crow.

      "Stark and Arcadia? I've never heard of such worlds."
      "They're- worlds in another realm."

      Or rather in a video game, but I feel like leaving out that detail.

      "So, what brings you here? I've never seen you around here."

      I pick up his drink because it is rather curious looking.
      Further inspecion reveals that whatever it is, it has a rather acrid smell to it.
      I put it back down.

      "I'm looking for you actually."

      His eyes widen.

      "Who- me?!"
      "Yes, you. I'd like to ask you for a favor."

      He looks a bit confused... or... at least I think he does. It is rather difficult to read the facial expressions of a bird.

      "I need to locate an aura."
      "You humble me. I am fairly skilled at tracking auras, but I highly doubt that I could find someone that you cannot."
      "You see, the problem is not that I am unable to do the tracking myself. The issue is that I'm quite unfortunately being tracked myself, so I do not wish to reveal myself."
      "Hyu- are you in trouble?"
      "You have no idea friend."
      "Wait. Seriously?"

      *Sigh*

      "It's pretty bad, can you help me out?"
      "Yes! Of course!"
      "There's a catch."
      "Naturally..."
      "I- I'm not entire sure what it is I'm looking for. I'll have to see what you see."
      "You want to use the dragon eyes on me..."
      "Indeed."
      "Shit- bugger- fuck-"
      "You okay?"
      "Yes, yes. Follow me. I know a quiet spot."

      He knows what's coming for him. I must have used the eyes on him in the past... I think?
      I follow Crow into some sort of small tent.
      He lands on a pedestral and I kneel down in front of im to get our eyes leveled.

      "Are you ready?"
      "No! Of course I'm not ready you moron."
      "Moron?"
      "Go ahead. Just please- try not to kill me."
      "Any danger is entirely up to you."
      "Yes yes. Don't resist. I know, I know. Let's just get this over with."

      It is fairly safe to use the dragon eyes on someone as long as they do not resist.
      Clearly the sharing of minds is not what the ability is intended for though.
      It is a rather intrusive ability, and it goes against your basic instincts not to resist against it.
      I stare into his pitch black eyes. He seems fairly relaxed which is good. This shouldn't hurt him.
      I force myself into his mind using the dragon eyes. My vision fades.
      The first thing I feel is fear and discomfort.
      I can't blame him for that. It must be immensely uncomfortable to have someone intrude your mind like this.
      Fortunately I feel no resistance from him at all. His self-control is rather commendable.

      "You're doing well crow."
      "Obviously."
      "Yes..."

      A new scene appears.


      A shared hallucination caused by the usage of the dragon eyes.

      "This place gives me the creeps."
      "Well. There ain't no girls in bikinis dancing about."
      "No shit."

      Well then. Time to see if that feeling is merely a delusion or if there is actually something behind it.

      "Alright. Reach out as far as you're comfortable with. I'll try to guide your search."
      "Mmmmmmhm"

      I attempt to visualize whatever presence Crow feels as points of lights in front of me.
      To my surprise, the only image that pops up is that of two rather largely breasted girls wearing bikinis.
      The girls he was talking to at the bar earlier...

      "Crow... focus!"
      "But dear friend. I'd say that I am rather focused. Are you not impressed by how clear this memory is?"
      "Dude... seriously?"
      "The image... so clear and crisp... mmmmh."
      "... This is really not the time for-"
      "Boobs? There's always time for boobies!"
      "Pervert..."
      "Pervert? You morbid cunt!"
      "A morbid what now?"
      "You heard me. Lousy, moronic fuckwit."

      *Sigh* That bird likes to curse.

      "I'm waiting for an apology!"

      This is the point where I'm supposed to call him an incompetent and imbecilic waste of natural selection.

      "Sorry... I'm really not in the mood for this."
      "You... I..."
      "Are you done? I really need to figure this out."
      "Well... yes... sorry..."

      I think he finally understands that this is serious.
      I'm not blaming him for not taking me serious immediately though.
      It's not like I'm known as a serious person. I like messing about. But today is different.

      After a surprisingly short amount of time, Crow manages to focus on something that matches what I'm looking for.
      I underestimated him. This was quite fast, especially considering the nature of what I'm searching for.

      "Eeehm. The fuck is this? This is not a person?"
      "Also where is this? This doesn't feel like a proper location. Something's off. Did I do it wrong?"
      "Hmm... I'm not entirely sure where this is, or what it is that you have found. But I'm fairly certain that you have found exactly what I'm looking for."

      This is very odd indeed. I know exactly what he means when he says that something's off. Something doesn't feel quite right, but I am uncertain as to why.
      I can focus on any point close to the location, but not the very location itself.
      It should also not have been possible to find anything using merely a vague feeling as a guide.

      "Crow. I'm going there right now."
      "That doesn't seem safe. Do you have any idea what to expect? I mean, you're not even sure what you're looking for."
      "Nope."
      "I'm tagging along."
      "Huh? Why is that?"
      "Curiosity."

      After releasing Crow from my eyes, I have him sit on my shoulder and teleport the both of us to some point in close proximity to the location we've found...

      Dream recall from today's naps.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was playing some 2D platformer/shooter game and there were fights with some huge bizarre creatures, then later i was using some editor to search particular sprite in the spritesheet, finding that there are even bigger creatures than the ones i fought.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was flying with some characters on some kind of air balloon construction, we were discussing something and there was also small dragon with us. We done our mission in the country and we were escaping it. Then the balloon got hit by something and we were forced to land. We use fuel to make construction flammable. Then there's cutscene where some scientist is searching for team and laughing. Then back to balloon construction, that small dragon transforms into human form for some reason and then firebreathes at the construction, setting it on fire. Then we leave.
    6. 12th June 2013 Island, Battle, Ritual, Dragon

      by , 06-12-2013 at 09:30 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragment):

      I was in some place that was built of simple colored geometrical shapes.

      Dream 2:

      I was browsing forum games on another forum and decided to join one, there was some discussion about starting conditions and soon i was actually in it and it was like video game/another dimension. I was on some kind of paradise island, talking to some people about this dimension. Soon the ocean got filled with countless amount of people swimming and jumping out of the water dolphin-style, i commented on that and then i grouped with an squad and we teleported somewhere else. I had some abilities(which i can't recall much) and we were going through a few places, some of them were steampunk style corridors, and we were fighting enemies.
      Then we finally reached huge outdoor area, sun was setting and there were two sides fighting each other in huge battle near the temple ruins. At first we were helping in the battle but then we got to the temple. We were discussing something while going through ruins and soon we have found some kind of chamber, we did the ritual and summoned some kind of god-like entities, then after talk with them we went outside, there was an enormous dragon in the sky. View switched to more cinematic cutscene camera and the enemy forces were wiped out by the dragon.

    8. 9th May 2013 Various video games, AI War, Scientist Dude, Underground, Virtual city, Anime about war

      by , 05-10-2013 at 11:33 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Some nice recall.

      Dream 1:

      I was in some sort of jungles, there were treehouses and bridges between them and i was talking to somebody.
      Later i was playing some GTA-looking game by being in it. I didn't really was liking it but i had to find someone important. I had special power of some kind and i was using it to fight some bandits while checking random houses. Soon i found house i was searching for, inside it was mostly empty except for a complex pipe system. There was some scientist dude, that's who i was searching for.
      Then i was back at home and i was playing some AI War-like game. I was playing as champion type ship and some other people were controlling everything else. Our base was located... in the mountains instead of space apparently, and we had walls. Our mission was to defend the base against ever increasing in power enemy waves that were coming from two paths. I selected 'Spire' ship and i liked the change that was added in 'newest version'(Not IWL): his laser attack was auto aiming at enemies in the process instead of being fixated. Enemy fleet had various ships and there were also a few champion ships as well. At one point we had Spire ship versus spire ship laser duel between my ship and enemy ship.
      When we finished with main waves, three enemy 'bosses' suddenly appeared right near the walls of the base, they were apparently some star wars related characters, according to game one of them was Boba Fett. They were powerful but soon. after constant fire from the fleet, they were down, not without some losses in the fleet, and most of walls were destroyed as well. Then the final boss appeared, it was some character too, but can't recall who. He was ridiculously overpowered and was able to deal huge damage by throwing units into air by suddenly raising the ground below them or smashing them into mountains by extending said mountains. At same time i got access to new champion ship... which looked like mini-fortress structure from AI War. I used it and started tanking the boss, this mini-fortress was extremely good at resisting damage from his attacks, eventually enemy was defeated and we won.
      Back at the home i was talking to that scientist guy about the AI war game, or something related to that, but after some time he was in hurry and he used some secret passage that we apparently had to go somewhere. I followed him. The path was going through dark underground and soon i got to the area where there was lair of some creature. It was sleeping. I got around silently and near the exit i noticed the car, it looked like it was guarding path, so i decided to go back. The creature on the way back was partially awoken, so i had to sneak around the wall to not be noticed. Shortly i had problem remaining hidden, but then some purple dragon appeared and helped me and we got back to home.
      I went back to playing AI War(As i recall, in dream there was something major happening, beyond than just a game). I was attacking the White AI with my ship, which was reverted back to spire model. Along with allied fleet we had no problem defeating this AI, which was called 'Forcefield lord' for a reason that it used forcefields everywhere and all over the place. But in the final area, AI homeworld, we had to fight really overpowered enemy champion ship. It had some weird weapons and abilities, one of which was ability to summon three rotating rainbow lasers which were dealing alot of damage, we barely managed to win.
      Back at home scientist dude returned and i was trying to get him to do something, i was telling him that whatever he done in the past doesn't matters and he still has all chances. We were back to the game together and we were overpowering the AI force, there were still alot of those forcefields but soon everything was mostly clear. Soon many nations arrived in the game and there was an race on capturing all the planets that were AI owned. We all had some ridiculously quick ships and we decided to start with the most away planets, but soon everything finished(not sure who won the race tho).
      Later i went to watch some anime and in one anime there was some guy that was learning the triple rainbow laser move apparently. He figured out a technique that summoned spiritual clones, which created many yellow energy spheres, which then were combined into rainbow shards. He managed to fire the lasers by concentrating power through shards. Soon dream ended.


      Dream 2:

      I was playing some game that was themed around some virtual city. I was controlling some character from third person and was talking to some NPCs. During talk with certain NPCs, the character used power to transform into some blue furry thing, saying 'Yeah, i can do that', then transforming back. I was leading character through various areas, and then there was bar area where was alot of talk. After talking to NPCs i went to buy some upgrades and weapons and then there was fight somewhere else.
      Later i was playing another game(or maybe same game but different mode), i was controlling some slenderman-looking thing with dark-red aura, going through some kind of maze. I was scaring the living out of some people and using teleportation abilities. Soon some super ability got charged use of which caused some weird transformations and distortions and all the people got scared and started trying to hide in a closet, then everything went dark.
      Later i went to sleep, but was not able to do so because family was watching some kind of anime about war. In it some commando soldier was talking to some woman and then they went to fight some other commandos. They were searching for superweapons, one of which was called 'Armageddon Nuke'. At some point they were going through some bunker and fighting with some soldiers. Later on the story continued outdoors and there was some memorial for some bald kid, they were talking about it and then some other kid joined the talk. They found some another place and started making base here near some kind of farm. They used some robots for building, but there was not enough fuel for them, so they deployed some alternate robots that used water for fuel, they were connected through pipes to some lake. The target of building was making the superweapon. As the construction was progressing, some robots malfunctioned and started burning down the plants with flamethrowers. They stopped them and there was talk about how due to another war in the past, all robots were programmed to destroy plants for some reason. Then dream ended.
    9. 3rd May 2013 Half-life like game, Drug testing lab

      by , 05-03-2013 at 11:36 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's naps.

      Nap #1(fragments):

      (very fragmented recall)At one point of dream i was browsing dreamviews. And at another point of dream i saw a dragon.

      Nap #2(fragments):

      I was making an let's play of some game that looked like half-life, but the levels and story were different and it was happening in some kind of ruins. Then later i was watching videos of someone playing around with game's engine or something like that.
      Later i was in some area that looked like something from game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and there was lab which i went to visit. There were some people talking about some extreme kinds of drugs and were testing them on subjects. One was named "A--ex"(can't recall the name fully) and on low dosage it was causing rage and hallucinations of blood-colored flame in subjects, but on high dosage it was turning the subjects berserk permanently and their skin was getting covered and then replaced with those blood-colored flames. Another one (i can't recall name)was made from 'hippie hair' ( ) and was causing complete loss of thoughts in subjects.
    10. 21st Apr 2013 WILDing in the dream again, Abstract shmup, Dragon, False Awakenings

      by , 04-21-2013 at 12:10 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's nap.

      I was at home, and i decided to do some WILD attempts, the room looked completely different but i didn't noticed. For some reason i was trying to do WILD in the uncomfortable corner of the bed, i noticed that and moved to the better position.
      Then dream skipped and i was going through some greyish town ruins and there were some zombies that i was shooting.
      After a while i was back at home and i was playing some abstract shmup. It was in the space and there were energy platforms floating around, enemy was attacking with spaceships and there were also tanks at the platforms. And out of everything that shmup was using Hellsinker OST for the music. I got through a couple of levels, each of which was ending with an boss fight versus some big abstract spaceship.
      But after i have done that game suddenly not just switched to the first person, but i was actually in the game. I was walking down an spiral set of the dark red spiral stairs, descending into the darkness. It was deep underground. Soon i have reached some kind of island, floating in the middle of the darkness. At the island there were ruins of the castle and a few more buildings. I crossed the bridge, and music started playing. As music was catching on, glowing white dragon flew out of the darkness and stopped above the island. Shortly dragon became darker and he started talking about something(can't recall what), shortly i recalled
      one of my dream goals and realized that i am dreaming, but before i could do anything, some force started attracted us together, and everything went pitch black. I feel weird sensation, like my body was changing in some way or getting fused with, but shortly everything stopped.
      I woke up but the room looks different so i am still dreaming, i get up and rub hands but dream fades out again.
      I wake up once again and it's daytime, i look at my hands, 5 fingers on the right, 3 fingers on the left, then suddenly back to 5 on the left. Balcony door was blocked by some garbage, so i decide to do small trick with the window nearby. I go backwards through it while expecting it to disappear and as i start falling backwards i notice that window is not there anymore. I feel the wings and fly around while randomly shouting commands for transformation and doing visualization(And completely forgetting how to do it properly ), i get my hands to slightly change, but once i look back at them they change back. I even try visualizing that dragon from before but no dice. After a while dream fades out and i wake up properly.
    11. 5th Apr 2013 Wheeeeee, false awakenings, four lucid dreams in two naps

      by , 04-05-2013 at 01:30 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Definitely improvement there, even though three were rather short, i got lucid in each dream, 1 WILD, 3 DILDs.
      It also was pretty confusing with the number of FAs and i couldn't recall non-lucid parts in much detail.

      Nap #1:

      I wake up in bed, knowing that i am dreaming, furniture placed differently and my bed is much closer to my PC apparently, before i can move i wake up properly.

      Nap #2:
      Dream 1:
      There was some stuff going on in my room(can't exactly recall what), interrupting my WILD attempt, but i eventually go back to doing it.
      I wake up in bed, the room looks different and i know i am dreaming, i take off headphones and binaural beats still playing, confirming that, but then i wake up, but go back to nap after memorizing recall.
      Dream 2:
      Again, family distracts me from my WILD attempt and i was fixing some machinery, which we had a whole wall of(not IWL), then there was some video game and i went back to WILD attempt.
      I wake up in bed, the room looks different once again and i know i am dreaming, i take off headphones, binaurals beats still playing, i get up and look around, the room is not just different, but positions of some furniture and exits are mirrored, i go to the balcony while rubbing hands but dream fades out and i wake up, memorizing recall once again and the going back to sleep.
      Dream 3:
      I am still there, attempting the WILD, the room is different but i don't notice it in dream, at one point family coming through the room and talking about something, then i just fallen asleep.
      I go through a number of weird sensations and then
      i wake up in bed and i know i am dreaming, but for some reason dad is on me and tries to stop me from getting up, i take off headphones, and i am still hearing binaural beats, confirming the dream. I shout 'Get off!' at dad a few times, each time in more commanding tone, and eventually, on fifth shout, he gets off me saying something along the line 'Yes, yes, goodnight' and i thank him for letting me go.
      I go for the door, and open it, but then realize that this room is not mirrored and that i opened the wrong door. I go for the balcony door while rubbing hands, not working well, i shout 'Stabilize!' and dream gets more stable and i can see very clear. I ram the balcony door, but i unexpectedly end up just phasing right through it and gravity gets low. I start flying and i feel wings. Everything looks weird, like, dreamscape just don't gets 'rendered' after certain distance, but my sight is very very clear. For a second i kinda forgot what to do, but then shortly recall that i need to practice transformation into a dragon. I shout to get more confident, and my voice echoes around the dreamscape. I fly near one of the clouds, which were pretty low down, and i can see my reflection, my wings big and black dragon-like and i am happy that i finally got them right, i attempt transformation but dream starts fading and i
      wake up.
    12. 3rd Apr 2013 Been WILDing in the dream again, twice

      by , 04-03-2013 at 04:45 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's nap. Was going to find something to do TOTM but dream ended too unexpectedly.

      As was in my bed, going for WILD attempt, headphones were behaving weird.
      Eventually i fall asleep and
      wake up in my bed, and i know that i am dreaming, there are like ten hands holding me and i am not able to move much, and then somebody materializes in the air and falls onto me.
      I wake up, but forget to do an RC, family was trying to distract me but i decide not to move much and attempt to WILD again.
      I wake up, knowing that i am dreaming again, and i take off headphones to confirm it and yes, i can hear binaurals. I get up and get a weird feeling like somebody tries really hard to wake me up. I stay calm and rub hands, soon the feeling goes away. Interestingly the room is very dark, but it's the daytime outside. I go to the balcony door, it's closed. I ram it a couple of times like i did previously when it was closed, and it opens.
      I fly outside and i feel wings, i fly straight and on the way i accidentally manage to go into third person view somehow for a second, I think about it and then recall that i wanted to take a look at wings. I reach some kind of park, with a small river, and in flight i decide to try going into third person view on purpose this time. I manage to do it but for some reason i couldn't hold it for long enough to look in detail, though i recall wings being somewhat greenish, also they looked weird and i didn't figured out what type of wings that was.
      I continue flying around and surprise random DCs, then i am flying below some kind of tent, flight was slow for some reason, and i decide to try to do transformation into a dragon once again. I concentrate on visualizing it but accidentally close eyes, i get some weird sensation, like i am becoming longer or something but then dream fades out before i can open eyes.

      I wake up, then in few seconds i wake up properly.

    13. 31st Mar 2013 Doing WILD in the dream again, New Dreamscape, Transformation attempts, Wasp uberswarm

      by , 03-31-2013 at 05:42 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Yay for another decent length lucid dream, and once again it's WILD from a dream.

      Only thing i can recall from non-lucid part is that i was at home and i was WILDing.
      I wake up and take off headphones, confirming that i am dreaming, i get up and the dream becomes very unstable, i start rubbing hands and dream becomes more stable, but still not fully stable, i go to balcony, on the way i imagine time of day changing and it rapidly changes to night then back to the day, i start touching the door frame and concentrating on that, dream fully stabilizes. I jump and and glide in the air, i start feeling wings but for some reason i have trouble moving vertically, which prevents me from flying through the doorway. I drop back to the floor and jump again, i feel wings again and this time flight works properly. I fly through the balcony doorway, but instead of balcony there are some other rooms, i quickly navigate through them and find true balcony doorway. I fly outside.
      I fly straight and then slightly to the right, i am flying even faster than previous time. Near trees i attempt to increase that speed even more, but end up zooming my view in instead somehow. Surprised, shortly i restore view back to normal and continue flying beyond trees. I reach different area, finally it's non-city dreamscape! There are hills, various trees and river. There are also bridges connected by cobble roads and DCs are roaming around. I decide to try to do transformation into a dragon again using method that worked before, with visualizing and shouting 'Dragon Form!', but once again i can only manage to transform hands, black scales appear on left hand and green on right hand, as well as claws, and fade out shortly. I do a couple more attempts while flying along the river, on the third attempt i have a bit more success, i get red scales on left hand and black on right hand, and this time they look more detailed, have more vivid feel and last longer. I fly around some more and eventually i get distra
      cted by some DCs and transformation disappears as well. I can't recall much for a while other that we went to assault some enemy DCs.
      Eventually we get into some sort of treehouse where enemy commander resided, the team beaten him up but all the fight destabilized the treehouse and it was barely balancing. After some balancing attempts it ends up completely upside down and everyone falls onto the ceiling. There are wasps. Lots of wasps. Hundreds of wasps. They sting me and somehow get into my mouth while i was trying to get up, i feel a bit of pain but not much.
      I suddenly remember what i was doing and fly out of the house, which falls. There are hills around and a few trees, and there are wasps absolutely everywhere, a whole swarm of them. I fly around while spitting out the wasps that got into my mouth, then i concentrate energy and imagine healing and pain goes away. I also try to breath fire at wasps, without transformation, but that fails too, though i think i ended up scaring them off and they shortly go away.
      I fly back to the river area, looking around for something interesting, but after a while, suddenly, dream instantly changes the palette and instantly destabilizes, i rub hands but dream destabilizes again, time stops for a bit and it screws up my flight, so i end up falling to the ground.
      On the ground i look around, there's female DC right near me, looking at me. I ask her 'You again?' even though i didn't meet her before, but in dream i was pretty sure i did( ). Shortly dream fades out.

      I wake up and get distracted, because everyone is watching movies in my room for whatever reason. Shortly i wake up properly with some heavy hypnopompic hallucinations that someone is still watching movies in my room, which lasts for a few seconds, making me do a bunch of RCs.

    14. 24th Mar 2013 Fake sleep paralysis, 'Fight' with a midget, Basic TOTM I, Some transformation success

      by , 03-24-2013 at 03:02 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's nap, got lucid due to attempting WILD in a dream again as well as finally did some goals as well as TOTM.

      I can't recall much about dream start, but i was at home and i was apparently sick, it was nighttime and i was watching Syphon Filter let's play, it was pretty weird in way that there were driveable vehicles and one level had the jump that was supposed to be done in vehicle, but player failed and was forced to redo whole level because the jump was done above area where level starts. Dad was annoying me because he decided to sleep in my room for whatever reason. Later i was watching another level with massive bridge and armored enemies, which supposed to be boss level of some kind. I looked at time and it was time at which i should go for nap. So i went for the WILD.
      I wake up and it is daytime, i can't move, also for some reason i am in position in which my view is rather limited. The bed position is different too, and there were no curtains on windows, but i didn't notice it at that moment. So dream manages to convince me that i have sleep paralysis event. In a bit i hear sound of someone walking behind the window. I am slightly alerted for a second, but only for a quick second, then i get back to calm state again. I hear more sounds behind window and then i see some shadow figure. It breaks through the window and runs towards me.
      At this point i start suspecting that i am dreaming, but still can't move. Now it's not shadow anymore, but a person, i can only see legs though due to position i am paralyzed in. He starts punching and kicking me, i feel being hit, but no pain, i still can't move though so i just absorb hits like a badass until i fall out of the bed. I am able to move now, and i ask the person why he's doing it, i can't recall response but i was not satisfied with it, i looked at the person and apparently he is a midget. He decided to continue attacking me, but i just... sit down on him. He's angered and somehow manages to grab me and almost throw me, but i grab him in response too. Then he grabs in different way, making it harder to keep balance, but i respond by grabbing differently too. We continue that 'fight' while epic orchestral music is playing, until i get him into situation where keeping balance is just ridiculous, like he has to stand in weird pose on single finger while grabbing my hand, and while i am not touching the floor at all and grabbing him somehow... i am not sure how to describe this fully, haha. But i apparently win and i free myself from the grab.
      I say something i can't recall to midget which was lying on the ground and walk to the window, which is not broken now apparently. I smash it with my fist and it breaks, i get through and check hands, no damage on them and left hand has 7 fingers, also they are like super detailed. I take off and start feeling wings, i fly straight ahead and then slightly to the left this time, and i fly pretty quick, i also hear sound of wings more clearly that previous time. Shortly dreamscape changes and i am now flying above some different place in the city, i decide to try transforming into a dragon again, but no dice, i continue flying and dreamscape changes again, to some kind of outdoor restaurant with a bunch of DCs, i fly above it and dreamscape changes once again, now there's some buildings. I spontaneously get an idea that transformation would be easier if i get more destructive.
      I fly straight into building wall and start breaking through it at full speed, it ends up very very thick, since i am breaking through it for whole 5 seconds already, without lowering speed. There's not much light and i decide to visualize transformation now, and i have feeling of change. After a couple more seconds of breaking through the wall i manage to reach some rooms, which luckily had some light. I look at my hands and i have claws and hands are fully covered with green and black scales, it's awesome, though i didn't changed in size, i think. I try to talk and my voice has weird tone messed with something like combination of roar and some high pitched sound. I haven't stopped flight for whole time, so i end up breaking through the wall again, deciding to get back to outside, but eventually everything fades out.

      I feel myself back at the bed, but all i can see is darkness, i try to shout, but my voice is replaced with sound similar to one i had during transformation, i feel paralyzed and shortly i see some black and white portrait in the darkness.
      I wake up while shouting, family is in the room and they make 'wtf' faces, i respond that "that's why i don't do this when someone else is in the room, especially when sick", i get up and then i wake up properly and immediately do an RC, haha.
    15. 23rd Mar 2013 A couple of DILDs, Transformation attempts

      by , 03-23-2013 at 08:23 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's naps, got a couple of DILDs and a bit of progress with dream control.

      Nap #1:

      I was on my PC, playing some kind of mod of video game called Doom. I got bored and decided to replay one of my own old mods for Doom. It was going on normally for a while, but soon it was smoothly transitioning from 'me playing game' to 'me being in game', then i ran into some technical problem with game not loading properly, but i fixed it, as i got to the next level it was suddenly overdetailed compared to everything else, there were yellow and red cave walls and also there was some kind of reactor behind the gate, and objectives stated that i had to destroy it. The detailing work on that map was ridiculous and i was never that good at map making so i realized that i am dreaming, i was walking around a bit and there were monsters from doom, which were frozen in place for some reason, but before i could do anything dream suddenly transitioned into my room.
      It was daytime, i recalled my goals and went to the balcony, which was already open. On the balcony i was ready for another attempt on transforming into a dragon, i recalled that behaving like one would help transformation process, so i tried to do a roar, but failed, i started to fly and felt wings again. Dream destabilized in a second and i, what i call it, 'lagged out', basically no matter what i did i was shifted into previous position while moving again, and shifting to previous position again again in infinite loop, like what you would see when other player lags out in some multiplayer games. I tried shouting 'stabilize!' but shortly dream faded out.


      Nap #2:

      There was scene where main character of the game Medievil, Sir Daniel Fortesque, was talking to some princess, but she later lured him into some kind of trap. He managed to get out and she attacked him with sword, but he, being undead skeleton, was mostly unfazed by attack. Then dream skipped.
      I wake up back in my bed, i recall the dream that i had and then i take off headphones and can still hear binaural beats, which means
      i am still dreaming. I get up and go to the balcony, on the way i engage senses and try feeling objects, for some reason it was hard to move fingers and for a second i felt the bed with it(being nowhere near the bed) as if i was still in the bed, i was thinking that it might feeling from my waking body but i quickly discarded that thought to prevent destabilization.
      I take off and feel wings again, this time flying is even easier and i can even hear sound of wings! I fly to the left(if facing building) and then just fly around for a short while. I decide to try attempting transformation into a dragon right in the flight, i shout 'Dragon form!' while visualizing and expecting change to happen but nothing happens. I notice that i am flying above some kind of marketplace and there are lots of DCs. For fun i decide i try something different, i fly right at random DC, which apparently is female DC, and suddenly stop right in front of her face, there's expression of shock on her face haha, then i fly away. I decide to go for another attempt at transformation into a dragon, i shout 'Dragon form!' again while visualizing and expecting the change and suddenly i feel the change on my right hand and hear weird periodic sounds that i can describe as 'crackle', i look at my hand and it's clawed and there are black scales roughly halfway to the elbow, in a few seconds it becomes back normal though, but hey, it didn't instantly destabilized dream this time! I fly around for some more time and then dream fades out.

      I wake up back at my bed and in a few seconds i wake up properly.
